I recently purchased the Sako S20 from Josh at Europtic. Shipping was fantastic as was the packaging. The whole purchase experience is always spot on, that's why I keep returning to Europtic for my rifles and accessories.
I have many Sako and Tikka rifles. I love my Sako 85's and they have been my favorites....until now.
I bought the Sako S20, Hunter, in .300 WM. The adjustability alone is worth the price of the rifle. I have a custom fitted rifle to me! The trigger has been adjusted for reach and let off. A very crisp, clean, Sako Break, right at 2 pounds.
The first day out at the range was amazing repeatable 3/4" groups with Sako Super hammerhead ammo, a 1/2" group with my handloads and the 180 Nosler Accubond, and big surprise plain old Federal Blue Box, 180 Hot-Cor 4 shots 1.5" at 200 yards. This gun shoots and I'm not done with fine tuning.
I also like the plethora of accessories. I bought extra mags, Sako S20 Muzzle Break, Sako scope base and rings.
I'm also getting a "Free" precision stock group with the Sako rebate.
If I were to buy only one rifle for all of my hunting and shooting, the S20 would be it.
If you are going to buy Sako, Europtic is the only store I have found where the sales team has the training and knowledge to properly sell and service Sako customers.

Owning several Tikka rifles in various calibers and knowing about the reputation Sako has, I ordered the S20 in .300 win mag for an upcoming moose hunt. Just got back from the range and was amazed by the accuracy. The Tikkas shoot well but the Sako shoots precise. With the gold box Federal Premium 180gr Swift Scirocco 2’s I was able to shoot sub 1/4” moa. I was really looking forward to working up a hand load but with results as good as that…what’s the point. I was shooting slowish and allowed the barrel to semi cool between shots and slightly longer cooling between groups. I didn’t see any noticeable drift with the barrel heating up and it cooled quickly. I installed a Mountain Tactical muzzle brake which for sure helps with recoil and muzzle rise. I would 100% recommend Sako and Eurooptic for any future rifle purchases.
